This view state is popular for interactive client presentations or when the designer wants to get a better feel for how a product will look without having to render offline with physically-based renderer like KeyShot or Iray. SolidWorks ‘RealView’ adds realism to models, by rendering with real world materials and lighting, including self-shadowing and scene reflections. In our tests we found there was very little difference between the Quadro M2000 and Quadro K2200 when FSAA was disabled but, significantly, the Quadro M2000 was 15% faster with FSAA enabled and jagged lines smoothed. This is one of the most popular display modes for CAD because it provides a very clear picture of the geometry when modelling. ‘Shaded with Edges’ renders simple shaded models with outlines. They are ‘Shaded with Edges’, ‘Shaded with Edges using RealView and Shadows’ and ‘Shaded with Edges using RealView and Shadows and Ambient Occlusion’. We like to focus on three of these, which most SolidWorks users should be able to match directly to their workflows. The benchmark provides an overall score based on nine different view states. Turning it on means the GPU has to work harder, which can slow down your 3D navigation but, as your models are rendered much more accurately, it’s well worth having it enabled at all times. FSAA is a rendering technology that removes the jagged edges of lines.

The test can be run in two modes: with Full Scene Anti Aliasing (FSAA) enabled or disabled.

This in-depth graphics test uses a total of 12 CAD models, ranging from a jet engine and gearbox to a computer chassis and excavator. Model from SPECapc for SolidWorks 2015 benchmark – RealView with shadows and Ambient Occlusionįor SolidWorks 2015 we used the SPECapc benchmark, running at FHD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution. The full specs of the Quadro M2000 - and comparative products old and new - can be seen in the charts below. We had presumed this would result in significantly faster render times when using Nvidia’s physically-based Iray renderer, but as we discovered in our tests, this wasn’t the case (more on this later). There’s also a big leap in compute performance with quoted peak single precision performance of the Quadro M2000 going up to 1.8TFLOPs, compared to the K2200’s 1.3TFLOPs. This makes it capable of driving four 4K displays but it does mean those with older DVI monitors will need to use an adapter. But the Quadro M2000 boasts 768 CUDA cores compared to the Quadro K2200’s 640.įor the Quadro M2000 Nvidia has also standardised on DisplayPort 1.2, with four ports in total. Both cards are based on Nvidia’s ‘Maxwell’ GPU architecture and have 4GB GDDR5 memory, which is more than enough for storing most CAD graphics data.

On paper, the Quadro M2000 looks to be a small but significant step up from the Quadro K2200.

It may be only 20 months since Nvidia launched its predecessor, the Quadro K2200, but the company felt the time was right to for a refresh – that time being the launch of the new Intel Xeon E5 v4 series CPUs and new and updated workstations from all the major OEMs. The new Quadro M2000 GPU, launched last month, is designed to hit the sweet spot for 3D CAD.
